   It does appear that SOME PROFESSIONALS "PROJECT THEIR HIDDEN BIASES ONTO OTHERS"

Rick  that has been my Experience.

This is disturbing on so many levels. I'm not sure what to think. I will try to understand.

Is this entire video available? I would like to get it for showing in the girls (13-18) detention facility where I volunteer.

Until people die, I suppose there's always hope for change. Before change there has to be acknowledgement and acceptance. I know a person whose entire family was very clear with him about how his drinking was killing him and the relationships he had. He never accepted that he was addicted, however, and kept drinking. A few days before his death, he said, "I think I f_____d up." In that case, it might have been better if he'd never acknowledged his addiction. Dying with regret sounds mighty sad to me.

Trauma Informed care would say, "What happened to you?" instead of "What's wrong with you?"  I have seen people change using Trauma Informed Care approach.  I have also seen professionals pour themselves out giving every opportunity for a person to change, and there was no change.  Glimpses of hope maybe, but the Trauma had been turned on for so long, It seemed impossible to turn it off.  Any thoughts?
